On Wednesday, July 10 at 5:30 p.m. the Bradbury Science Museum will host a talk on President Truman’s decision regarding use of the atomic bomb during World War II. The topic will be presented by Noel Pugach, professor emeritus of the University of New Mexico’s history department.

Innovations for a secure nation

Scientists are developing an ultra-low-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging system that could be low-power and lightweight enough for forward deployment on the battlefield and to field hospitals in the World's poorest regions.
